About Superior Upholstery

Superior Upholstery operates in Wichita, Kansas, offering both a fabric retail side and a full furniture reupholstery service. Wichita is the largest city in Kansas, and its diverse mix of historic homes, mid-century neighborhoods, and commercial properties creates a wide range of upholstery needs throughout the year. A shop that combines fabric sales with skilled reupholstery work gives customers more control over their project, since they're choosing materials in the same place where the work gets done. That kind of integrated service is genuinely useful for homeowners and interior designers working on multiple pieces at once.

Services & Process

Superior Upholstery's dual offering means you can walk in, browse their fabric inventory, and get a feel for materials before committing to a reupholstery project. On the reupholstery side, they handle sofas, chairs, ottomans, and other upholstered furniture, stripping pieces down, repairing or replacing interior components, and applying new fabric with proper finishing. Having fabric in stock also means they can get started faster than shops that need to order material externally. For interior designers in Wichita working on client projects, sourcing and labor from a single provider simplifies the whole job.

Service Area

Superior Upholstery serves the greater Wichita metro area, including Eastside, Westside, and North Wichita neighborhoods, along with nearby communities like Park City and Kechi. Their central Wichita location makes them reachable for most residents in Sedgwick County without a significant drive.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the advantage of choosing fabric from the shop versus bringing my own?
Fabric sourced from the shop is already vetted as upholstery-grade, meaning it has the durability and weight needed to hold up on furniture. Bringing your own fabric isn't always a problem, but there's a risk of choosing decorative fabric that wears out quickly under daily use. The shop's staff can also help you pick something that works for your lifestyle and furniture type.
Can interior designers get trade pricing or priority service?
Many upholstery shops that work regularly with design professionals offer some form of trade accommodations, whether that's pricing, faster turnaround, or the ability to coordinate multiple pieces at once. It's worth introducing yourself as a designer when you first visit or call, since these arrangements are often handled informally. Building a relationship with a reliable local shop is valuable for any active design practice.
How do I pick the right fabric weight for a heavily used sofa?
Look for fabrics with a high double-rub count, which measures abrasion resistance. For a sofa that gets daily family use, aim for at least 15,000 double rubs, and for commercial settings, 30,000 or more. The shop's fabric staff can point you toward options that balance durability with the look you're going for.
Do you work on leather furniture in addition to fabric?
Many upholstery shops handle leather work, including recovering pieces in genuine or faux leather. Leather projects require specific tools and techniques, so it's good to ask about their experience with leather specifically before committing. Minor leather repairs like scratches and cracking are sometimes handled separately from full reupholstery.
Can you reupholster outdoor or patio furniture?
Outdoor furniture reupholstery uses specialized fabrics designed to resist UV fading, moisture, and mildew. Standard indoor upholstery fabrics won't hold up outside for long, so it's important to specify that a piece is for outdoor use when you visit. A shop with a good fabric selection should have outdoor-rated options available.
How do I get an accurate estimate before committing to a project?
The most reliable way is to bring the piece in for an in-person look, since photos and descriptions often miss details that affect the price. The shop can assess the frame condition, measure the piece for yardage, and factor in any structural repairs needed. Getting everything reviewed in person avoids surprises when the work is done.
